Tourney Arc

[Anonymous]

Olguin's lungs heaved for air as he tried to regain the precious oxygen he had used up in his fear induced run.

Looking at Miyuki carefully, he gently lay a hand on her stomache, hand softly glowing with pure chi. It would lessen the strain on her somewhat, and that's all that mattered at the moment.

"We are having too much of a bad stretch of luck lately." He commented, as he drew his katana. "Time to end it, I think."

With those words he lashed out with his family's katana, the edge of the blade glowing a dull red as it easily severed the head off the corpse.

"C'mon, we're going to keep going. From now on, trust nothing." Resheathing his sword, he started calmly walking deeper into the alleys.

Behind Olguin, something large moved, hidden in the shadows.   The smell of blood wafted off the giant form.  The slight squealing as it smelled warm flesh.

Olguin's eyebrow arched as he heard the faint squeals of the beast. Scooping Leets in his free arm, he started dashing away from the oinker.

"If it's anything like a real pig, it'll be able to track us by scent..." He whispered, leaning slightly forward to increase the speed at which he was moving.

What to do...what to do...

Leaping towards the right side of the alley, he felt the wind rush through his hair as he hit it, and rebounded off towards the left side of the alley.

Continuing in this fashion, he finally made it to the rooftop of the building on the right side of the alley.

No rest for the wicked.

As soon as he landed on the right building's rooftop he burst into motion, feet making a steady beat as he pounded the pavement. Leaping over the gulf between the roofs, he kept going until he hit the edge of the next rooftop.

"I hope this is enough." Quietly dropping down into the alley below, he hurriedly continued on his way.

OOC: The renegade...

IC:

Outside the very alleyway where Olguin landed, the feeling of power eminated.   The incredible sight of lightning streaked across the alleyway opening.  The smell of blood and burned flesh wafted into the alleyway mixed with sulfer.

A blonde haired swordsman flew after it, his shining blade swinging with remarkable speed.   A squeal of torment followed...swiftly silenced.

------------------------------

Distractions.  Mutant scum.  Waste.  Someone over there.

------------------------------

The swordsman returned to view.  His white robes were stained with blood.  A maniac grin upon his face. Turning slowly his blue eyes gleamed.  "Survivors?" he asked, walking slowly closer.  His hair had flecks of blood in it.

Suddenly he paused, wiping a bit of blood from his mouth.

-------------------------------

One of them was here.  The metas.  One like 'him'.  That traitor...

-------------------------------

"You....your one of them..." He lifted up his blade, spectacularly clean.  Raising his arm slowly he gestured with it...

towards Leets.

Leets stared blankly, gesturing to himself. "Are you talking to me? One of who?" he asked in confusion, having no clue what the man meant.

Olguin tensed as he began to back away from the man, children in tow. Something was definately wrong with that swordsman.

Battle Lust...madness...or both clearly hung over this person. Looking over how the man held himself, and remembering how easily he had ended a powerful demon's life...

He came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to let this deranged man get a hold on them.

Leaping backwards with all the force he could muster, Olguin nailed a trash can with a powerful spinning kick, launching it towards the man in the white robes.

Not even stopping to look if his attack had connected, he ran away from the swordsman, layer after layer of air twisting around him as he bobbed and darted through the alley, hoping to make himself as difficult of a target to pin down as possible.

He briefly wondered why his barrier had come up much easier this time, but those thoughts were quickly shoved off into the subconscious mind.

He had bigger issues to deal with, after all.

[Dracos]

OOC: Oh mamma...I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law.

IC:

Ky's sword swept out, slicing the trash can in twain.  His face became deadly serious, utterly calm as he called it to him.

The lightning struck his blade as he lifted it up, arcing off as it illuminated the alleyway, channeling off into the brick walls.    Lowering in a flash, Ky unleashed the blast.

It soared forth from his blade, a hungry fiend tearing across the empty alley to impact the wall before Olguin, shattering it and blocking off the turn in the alleyway.

"Now now...let's not be hasty.  You are human."

------------------------------------

"Human?" a young boy asked.

------------------------------------

"You aren't one of them.  Leave the beast in mortal flesh and I will let you go."

------------------------------------

"Traitorous beast." A younger ky shouted, blood running down his face as he crouched.

-------------------------------------

Electricity arced around the blade as Ky coldly looked on awaiting the man's decision.

"You speak as if you're something else," Olguin coldly stated, brow creased in faint anger as he looked at the blocked path.

"What do you want? Now isn't the time for idle chatting." He neutrally asked, body tensed as he gazed at the sword in the blonde man's hands.

[Dracos]

"No.  I am like you.  A Talented human.  Same as that girl.  But..."  Ky's  eyes narrowed.

"That boy is not human."

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

Leets looked confused, wondering what the stranger was talking about. "What do you mean 'Not Human'? What do you know about me?" he demanded, thinking maybe the stranger knew something of his past.

[Dracos]

OOC: Two hearts...in twain

IC:

"It's the way you smell.  The aura of your being boy.  You are one of 'them'.  Those monsterous freaks."

-----------------------------------------

A brown haired young man looked on with eyes filled with tears.  His forehead bare, showing...

-----------------------------------------

"Those artificial weapons...You are one of them."

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

"...Artificial? Artificial?!" Leets furiously pulled his scarf off, revealing the old scars from the day before. "Does this look artificial to you?!" he asked, scowling.

[Dracos]

OOC: Woot... ORION

IC:

"Just like him.  A biological weapon designed to be able to blend with populance and unleash his deadly powers just in time for their plans."

---------------------------------------

"No...Not I...I'm free.." The brown haired young man shook his head, shouting in anger and pain.   "I'm not one of them."

---------------------------------------

"They live like any other human.  But eventually they reveal their true nature betraying you.  They exist to fulfill their masters' plans.  He's probably using you already for his ends, and you don't even know it.  Trust me, he'll betray you the first chance he gets.   They always do.  So will you allow me to slay the wretch and prevent him from harming innocent lives?"  Ky's eyes narrowed, ice cold.

"Hmm...what an unexpected development this is." Olguin murmured, "I didn't think that'd one of my own would turn out to be something...more than they appeared."

His Mission was to first and foremost protect and deliver Miyuki outside the city, and this was too big of a risk to take, especially given the already extreme difficulties of getting out alive.

Miyuki would understand his logic, ultimately.

"I...ARGH!" An expression of utmost pain and terror flooded across his expressionless mask as pain beyond anything he could ever comprehend flared in the recesses of his mind.

And the weakling spoke...

No! I won't let you sell him out to save your own skin! The weakling raged within his mind. He mentally snorted before surrounded the brat's conscience, easily sealing away the nuisance.

Raggedly breathing, he shook his head, pain quickly cooling down as the annoyance was removed.

"I will not hand over the child to you. I promised him deliverance out of this hellish world and I intend to keep it."

He never did notice that the Mission had been altered though.

[Dracos]

Ky's eyes closed as his sword lowered.  Turning slightly to the sky he appeared to ask the heavens something.

"In that case...."

----------------------------------

"Please let me go, Ky."

----------------------------------

"I'll have to kill you all."  Spinning he leapt at Olguin, lighting flying from his blade...

Only to encounter a blade of shadow.   An ethernal form blocked his path.

"Remember your oath."
